Original Note:
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability. It is not an illness or a disease, and it cannot be cured. https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/what-is-autism https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/autism/what-is-autism/ The post also includes puzzle piece imagery, which is an ableist image as it implies autistic people have something missing or are defective. https://intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/the-ableist-history-of-the-puzzle-piece-symbol-for-autism/
